Haiku Mueller Report


Citizen does cartwheels in front of White House.  April 21, 2017


Mueller Report in haiku

Investigation
Presented in two volumes.
Exoneration?
  

* * * *


Volume One describes
“Sweeping and systematic”
Election attacks.

Trump campaign staffers
Fall all over themselves
In self-promotion.

Russians on Facebook
Harm to Ongoing Matter
And fooled most of us.

Papadapoulos
Is fun to say, and so is
Veselnitskaya.

Russian citizen
Offers info on Clinton.
Young Trump salivates.

At June 9th meeting,
Only topic – adoption
Or so Trump dictates.

Early on November 9,
Investigative Technique
Wrote, “Putin has won.”

A crucial footnote1278
Claims that stolen emails are
Not property.  Arrrgh!

Harm to Ongoing
Matter, Investigative
Technique, Grand Jury

The admissible
Evidence does not meet the
Standard, says Mueller.
Where were you on June 9, 2016? I was at this cabin in the woods.

* * * * * * * *

Volume Two details
Evidence of Trump’s attempts
To obstruct justice.

“We determined not
to make a firm judgment on
the case.”  Oh, Mueller.

The fact that Russia
Swayed our election threatens
Trump’s fragile ego.

He needs “loyalty.”
Comey offers honesty
To Liar-in-Chief.

In safes everywhere,
Contemporaneous notes
Lie in wait, as proof.

President asks staff
To lie, cover up, and change
The facts to falsehood.

Reasons for firing
Comey are shifting sands on
The beach of Trump’s mind.

Harm to Ongoing
Matter, Harm to Ongoing
Matter, Personal

President wants staff
To do the dirty work and
Say “Sessions, you’re fired!”

Like the son in the
Parable, they said, “I go,
Sir,” but did not go.

* * * *
Crime committed? Who
Knows?  Absolution? No way.
Have at it, Congress.


The Presidential Oath of Office

Magnificent. Only you would think to put this in Haiku. And it works.
